Notes
Angus had married a Miss MacKenzie in South Africa in his 50s but unfortunately, she died in childbirth along with her baby daughter. His family had come from the island of Fladda, off Raasay, and he was a native speaker of Scottish Gaelic. His father, Norman MacLennan, was also a merchant seaman and spent a considerable part of his life as a yachtsman for the families who owned Raasay House. Angus apparently began his seafaring career working with his father."
